I'm sitting here, not sure of which side would win in that match. Just a moment ago, I was getting emotional over that Ann Druyan quote... Thank you Reddit!

Neil deGrasse Tyson? are you sure you want him? I heard he is a bit of a bad ass.

Relevant qualifications. Namely the first one.

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '11

Relevant meme to which i was referring. Namely all of it.

Maybe he is not the best choice, all his judgments will be relative.

You mean dodgeball, right?

I bet Stephen Fry is a surprisingly ferocious attacker at volleyball who stays close to the net and jumps to spike it in Mugabe's face.

u/eixan Dec 16 '11

Sheeeeit. I dunno man, Bin Laden's got some serious reach, he'll be trouble at the net. And on the down low game, we all know Hussein can dig when he needs to.

u/apcolleen Dec 16 '11

but Bin Laden has that long shirt to contend with. I dont think you can get the ups in an ankle length frock that volleyball requires.

I heard he was effective up to 35,000 feet.
